I'm gonna take a stab in the dark and guess it's an MVP where they manually assess your skills.

Also, this is a YC company and it looks like this is a pivot or alternatively they're trying to find more candidates for clients, who then pay them a fee to sort out the visa?

That's somewhat correct, although we have a bunch of stuff on the back-end that we're not quite ready to talk about yet :)

Not a pivot, just an experiment to see how people respond. Give it a whirl and let us/me know!

More than happy to give it a whirl. Can you elaborate on what you do with the data that's given? Do you store it permanently, how long do you keep it, who else gets to have it?

[chralieboy]

They use it to generate leads for products, store it indefinitely, and will ask permission before sharing it.

How are you dealing with the fact that even with a sponsor, there's only a 1 in 2-3 (unknown) chance that someone will actually get through the H1-B lottery this year?

I like to think you use some sort of machine learning - You feed it the first few profiles which you do by hand to give the learning some data to start on, then let the machine do its magic.
